About Us

I provide personalized funeral, celebration of life, and memorial services for families, most of whom consider themselves spiritual but not religious, providing an in-depth understanding of faith traditions, and humanist, atheist and civil practices, in styles ranging from traditional to ultra-contemporary.

My handling of all details of the service allows you, your family and friends to participate fully in the healing and closure the service provides. I will:

Meet with family to discuss your vision for the serviceMeet with family and friends at key moments and visitation for prayer or encouragementCoordinate services with your funeral homePrepare a personalized order of service with fond stories, memories and personalized eulogyOfficiate at the service, at graveside service or scattering of ashes

Credentials: Commissioned multifaith Spiritual DirectorMasters Degree in Pastoral Care and Theology from Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago

I also provide pre-planning options for services, including the writing of the eulogy and selection of readings and music, which may be kept with any other funeral home pre-planning materials.

PET MEMORIAL SERVICESYour pet shares your life, your home, and always your heart. Depending upon your needs, I:will meet with you to hear the life story of your pet, the love you shared, the special times you had together; design and officiate a dignified and compassionate service and eulogy filled with favorite stories;provide a special service as they are laid to rest or their ashes are scattered.
